Why do people keep saying the u.s. president is the most powerful man in the world?

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

When history and current events clearly shows that’s complete bullshyt. The constitution is designed so that cannot be the case. Is it because he control the nukes? Presidents of other countries control nukes as well. Domestically, the president has very little real power.


So when people say the president is the leader of the free world when other countries abolished slavery before America and legal apartheid didn’t end until the late sixties (Jim Crow) I laugh. Ignorance is like a virus.

nikka we live in a post truth era where opinions > facts.

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

No different from Ken Shamrock being labeled "the most dangerous man in the world" or Tyson being called "the baddest man on the planet".

Its a gimmick, in this case a illusion because the president is the epitome of a switch connected to a bunch of cords that could pop something off.

America is the strongest country. We would easily fade any country 1 on 1 if we didn't give a fukk about optics or securing natural resources afterwards

 

[Chrishaune]

The most powerful now are billionaires. The "elite" moneymakers are trying to run the world.

It's only temporary. They will mess it up.

 

[ignorethis]

Because saying a bunch of unelected postnational oligarchs are the most powerful people on the earth doesn't make people feel good.

You want people to think they play a role in the direction of humanity, gives them a little feeling of agency and power, once that facade goes away dudes start thinking about violent revolutions and stuff (not good for business).

 

[Baka's Weird Case]

its because he is the commander in chief of the U.S. military.

yeah there are a lot of checks and balances on the president in domestic policy but there aren’t as many on him as commander in chief. power over domestic american politics is less important in terms of “most powerful person in the world” than being commander in chief.

that being said i dont know if i actually agree with the term but i wouldn’t say theres one other individual i could say is more powerful off the top of my head

They don't like a man in that position they can't control. Biden is a full puppet. He does what the"elite" tell him to.

Is it really tho? Japan, China and the UK hold enough treasury bonds to collapse the U.S. economy if they dumped them on the open market. Russia has more nukes, and is capable of hitting US targets. In terms of other categories, The US isn’t number one in any except prison population.

Its already there, just being announced on some non damns given type of steez.

Every country around the world got the same agenda, but a different way of going about it:

• Singapore- Nanny state where the population are the cogs and the corporations are the machine
  
• United States- We all know what it is
• China- Focus on world domination from the window looking through
  
• Latin America- Corruption but we care for our people

Once the games begin when everybody plays the same game of Civilization, we are all fukked



Not me though since I'm in space and shyt

but

1. the president can’t declare war.
2. isn’t w military strategist.
3. Is advised by other people on every aspect of the military.

commander in chief is a symbolic title. Useless.

What they are trying to do hasn't been fully set up yet, but it's close. They've been working for years. Technology is just getting to the point to do it.

presidents engage in war without formally declaring it through congress all the time. Congress hasn’t declared war since World War II.

presidents can be military strategists, decorated generals have been elected president before.

are you arguing that any one general or admiral is more powerful than the president? they need his approval and he can do shyt without any of their approval. having advisors does not make you less powerful

If a person can give a pardon for a federal prisoner, then yeah, that person is powerful.
